It's expensive having a gf in Nigeria

Very very expensive. Most women sees the man attached to them as ATM, ( Some married women included). Money for hand, back for ground.

biomustry:
Who should now go?

Sell Rakitic or Dembele.and buy that B. Silva. He can play any of the two positions effectively, he likes having the ball, dribbles and scores.

Barca now have 2 aggressive attack minded players in Vidal and Braithwaite. The later can't play against Napoli but will trouble Madrid defense come weekend.

ddippset:
Make dem complete the signing Sharp Sharp abeg.

No time.


UCL don come..

Let's hope he won't turn out to be another Boateng signing.

@bolded awesome01

Gat ya point,.my man.

LaMujer:
so, they should sell their own striker for you, while they won't have a replacement abi? you try

Bros, Abeg no vex for me naaaa, no be me do.us this thing o. Moreover, if you check that suggestion again, you will find out I gave the condition "if available".

Remember we are in the same boat here.

Neimar:


We are doomed

Na Ansu Fati and Griezman we wan take win UCL

PSG, Juve, City, Liverpool, Bayern

Bros, I have the same fears as you do. But if you look back at our performers in the team even when we are seemingly strong, it has always been Messi at the top and center of it all, especially in goal creation and scoring.

So my prayer is that Messi performs his magic as he always does and most importantly 'STAY FIT'. Because any injury to him in this incoming rough patch will be catastrophic. We need him now more than we've ever done.

Copa Dey rey might be the only thing for us to win this season.. best to bet on it

Just forget ucl for now

You've got a valid point there. We need to re-modify our expectations downwards a little.

peterd53:
With news that Ousmane Dembele has joined Luis Suarez on the sidelines for the remainder of the season, Barcelona would likely be able to get permission to sign another striker, even though the transfer window is closed.

As the RFEF regulations state, the Blaugrana would only be able to sign a player from within Spain, the options are limited, but not completely scarce.
One option could be Cristhian Stuani, currently with Segunda club Girona, and top scorer in the division. The Uruguayan has stated on many occasions that he doesn't want to leave the Catalan side, but a 20 million euro offer, which meets his release clause could be enough to make a deal.
Another option is Willian Jose. The Real Sociedad forward has been overshadowed by Alexander Isak and was close to leaving for Tottenham in January. In the end he stayed in San Sebastian and apologised to the La Real fans.
A move to Barcelona though would fulfil his wishes to play for a big club, but his close of 70m euros makes things a little more complicated, given the lack of transfer budget available to the Cam Nou club.

A more affordable option would be Real Betis' Loren [/b]who has a clause of 60m euros, but it could be reduced by half, as the small print in his contract states. If this is the case, and taking into account Quique Setien's positive words about the player, the possibility of a move increases.
[b]Other, less likely deals could involve Carlos Bacca of Villarreal, Valencia's Kevin Gamiero, or even one of Getafe's forwards - Angel, Jorge Molina, Mata or Deyverson.
The most economical and perhaps most feasible option seems to be brining a striker in from the Barcelona B team, such as Rey Manaj, Kike Saverio or Hirobi Ake.

For me, I'll choose Kevin Gameiro or Carlos Bacca if any of the two is available. Those two are seasoned strikers that can deliver.

ddippset:
Nice observation about Roberto.

Maybe draft Semedo upfront then..
Semedo is good on one-one situations.


Griezman Messi Semedo?

Anything would do, just to have extra options upfront.

The board has created a very difficult stage for this new coach to manage. He already has a valid excuse if he fails at the end of the half season.

ddippset:
Another system that might appeal to me is to play Sergi Roberto on that right wing,
With Messi through the center.


Option 1:
Fati Griezman Messi.

Option 2:
Griezman Vidal Messi.

Option 3:
Griezman Messi Roberto.


This injury crisis calls for tactical flexibility.

Nice one bro. I like that setup too, but is Roberto fast enough to outwit a defender on his own to lay the final pass? Most times he does that is because Messi magnets defenders from that right wing towards the middle, leaving him enough space to run into as a rb. But there's no wrong in trying.

IKON360:
Dembele is an expensive ambulance in our squad. Our board is so daft why did they let Alena and Carles Perez go? Who is even making these kind of stupid transfer dealings?

Na only God know who do us this thing o.

IKON360:
You want the coach to play the hardest tackling midfielder and one of the best box to box midfielders as an attacker? Which kyn football you dey watch so?

My guy, the tactic is called "Use what you have to get what you want". Maybe you don't know yet but there is no backups to our front line at the moment. Apart from Ansu, Grizzy, Messi and injury prone Dembele, there is no other striker.

And with the remaining part of the season overloaded with fixtures, what happens if 2 of the 4 above becomes injured or out of form.

Moreover, if you look at the present team the only other player other than Messi, with motivation, zeal and hunger for goals is Vidal. Reason I said try him. after all we've seen a striker deputising as a goalkeeper in cases of red card and perform excellently.

FirstbornWds:
From the look of things, Arturo Vidal might likely start playing as a forward soon ( A position I think he'd do well in). That said, FDJ, Sergi, Arthur and Rakitic will have to regulate the midfield position.

Notwithstanding, I still think our board made a huge mistake by not signing a striker and allowing Perez to join Roma

.

I'm with you on the Vidal thingy, he's sharp, aggressive and very hungry for goals. I think the coach should try him out in the striking position in some games. We can also bring a striker from Barcelona B.

Without deceiving ourselves, we are headed for a very rough and trying time in the season.

haymekus:
Nothing serious about it just a muscle fatigue so he had to quit training since he hasn’t trained since November

I'm very afraid and anxious of any Messi injury anytime from now. It will be disastrous.

biomustry:
[SkySportsNews] | Barcelona are preparing a last-minute £20m bid for Chelsea winger Willian.

Exactly my point. Is Willian a striker? Or is it Messi dey are trying to replace at the wings?

Ronaldo
Are you saying fraud Messi can't save Barcelona, that you seriously need the GOAT Ronaldo

Sorry, I was talking to cules, and they can comprehend what I meant by my remark.
Thanks for porknosing anyways.

Adiwana:
That Bart guy is a clown.Took a Copa del rey semi final loss to sack Valverde after what happened for the past 2 years.Now wants to sign Richarlison for 100million?? This goes to show that him and other clowns at the helm of affairs have no l of what direction we are to move after l has ll if replacing Suarez is a problem.

That man has to go

Should have gone before Varverde sef? Senseless board chairman that sold Alcacer and Munir to replace them with Boateng.

Joked around on signing Jovic till Madrid got him, now looking haphazardly for a top striker with 3 days to go. Why not approach City for Aguero or Juve for Ronaldo too while at it?

Astark:
I swear Barcelona is the most hated club online, damn it.

List of teams fans that hate barca

Madrid
Manchester united
Chelsea
Liverpool

Juventus

Should Man. U fans have mouth to talk? With the beating from Burnley tonight? Well they can hate us because Burnley starts with "B" like Barca.

Personally, I have always been a proponent of regional government as opposed to this merging of strange bed fellows we call federalism.

We all know the reasons and aims of this initiative called Amotekun, it is a very laudable idea but we are yet to know to what extent it operations will be. Neither do we know how it will be coordinated. There are many questions that needs answering and many modalities to put in place.

For those of us that were around when the first OPC was started, you will remember it was more of a militia than a protector until sanity started coming into their operations, now its more a shadow of itself because of some overzealousness of its members which made people loose faith in them.

Coming back to this Regional Amotekun network, I'm yet to see anybody quote from the constitution (though flawed, yet still our law), an part to support or against this initiative.

My opinions and questions are as follows:

We operate a federal system of government not.regional (at least that's what my Government teacher taught us in school back then). So we shouldn't be expecting the government to see a regional setup as lawful or legal.

If the above is correct, therefore we need to take the Amotekun initiative back to be a state setup in order for it to go in tandem with the existing laws. Each state can name its own whatever it wants but In our hearts we know its a Southwest defense mechanism and we are free to have meeting based on that.

My questions are:

1. Let's say the Amotekun works out now because all the south west governors ascribe to it, what happens to the outfit if after another election, a governor say I'm no more interested or if there is a fall out between two states sharing borders, how would that be handled?

2. How would the Amotekun members and their operations be curtailed if they turn on the people of the southwest they were supposed to protect? if they turn mafia? taking laws into their hands?

3. How will they be funded, equipped and paid? Will all these also come from the federal allocations? or Will we the citizens be over taxed again to accommodate that outfit? Remember #30,000 minimum wage saga.

I love this idea. but let us know more about this venture before we put out a project that wouldn't last the test of time.

Note:: This is my personal opinion, you have a right to yours

What's your personal take on the debate on the regional defense mechanism proposed by the Southwest governors called Amotekun.

Do you support it? Why?

Are you against it? Why?

I fear for the future of this country o. Why are we the youths so hasty to jump on a band wagon without double checking.

Goal

Ibiza 1 - 0 Barca @37mins

It was a joy to see tiki taka again from Barcelona, I've really missed seeing us dominate and play a style that we enjoy every bit of the game. Forget the scoreline, we will get better with each game.

Same way, it is also a joy seeing our pioneering fellow cules coming back to the thread after long absences in ghost mode, WALAHI, the thread has not been the same without you guys. Welcome back.

Mes que in club.
Barca for life !!!

My own ordeal got me 3 weeks in Awaiting trial section in Ikoyi Maximum Prison before being bailed.

I just lost close to a million in a business, was devastated and suicidal. In other to keep me busy my pastor attached me to an elder of the church who just started a Community bank as a cashier.

The elder was just spending all deposits for his personal stuffs, after 6 months of no salary and with all others staffs gone for non payment, I also gave my resignation letter to the Manager and left, having no knowledge that the manager also resigned after I left.

Two weeks later, The elder showed up at my door with police, accusing me and the manager of stealing all the money.

The case went to court and we got remanded, bailed and a year later we were freed when I showed where I documented his spendings in the copy of the banks ledger.

He didn't show up at court again since then when he was asked to bring the original ledger to court. He packed away from his residence and didn't show up again till case was dismissed a year later.

YES!!! I will. 100 times over. She's the best for me. Completes me, compliments me, understand me and above all accepted me for who I am. She's my best friend.

Ikennablue:
I really hope Setien will be an upgrade. We can't afford to jump from frying pan to fire

I sure hope so too. I don't know much about him before now but for the board to opt for him, they should have a good reason.

I actually wanted an unpredictable, daring and eccentric coach in the likes of Simeone, klopp, ten hag etc. let's see how this goes. Hoping for the best.

Call the Hausa man in your neighbours presence, making sure she hears all the negotiations, ask the Hausa man to bring the rice the next day for you to buy. When he has gone, tell your neighbour you want to buy from her instead of the aboki but at the price the aboki sells, if she refuses, tell her you can't buy at the costly price, that you intentionally discharged the aboki for her sake.

Expectedly as a Nigerian, she will be angry and give you go ahead to buy from the Hausa man. I bet you by morning of the next day, she would change her mind and sell to you at a good price.

uckyra:
you don't know how people here think.infact the Hausa people sell better n cheaper but I can't buy from them because my neighbor will feel bad

Some of these kids can be very stubborn and make you do the unthinkable out of rage.

RiP to the kid and as for the maid, she needs a psychiatrist and a psychologist not a death /jail sentence.

What did you just say? If you haven't given birth before, I will overlook your ignorance, but I pray you never experience what mother of the kid will be going through now o. No talk like this if this kine thing happens around you o.

chukel:
Anybody who read the story would know the girl is a big liar. The story doesnt add up. The guy soaked her clothes in water and snapped her nude and even recorded a video. Lies. Did he force the clothes off her body? She just came to his house, quietly watched him remove her clothes including pant if she wore any, then soaked them. Note she visited him. She also claimed she gave him 18k to buy a phone for her. Why would anyone give a cobbler money to buy phone. Is he a phone seller? How will a graduate give a cobbler money to buy phone for her. This is love affair gone wrong and she decided to frame him up. everything was consensual

My suspicion is that the lady and the cobbler were really dating. Knowing our girls of today, the cobbler would have been investing money on her and her education. now she's a corper she wants to dump him. If truly she gave him 18k, it would be for him to add a larger chunk and buy Samsung or iPhone.

Let the investigation be made without any emotions. Ladies are found of using rape allegations nowadays to punish men they intend to dump.

Moreover, if her clothes were soaked in water, which cloth did she wear to the station? or she went naked?
